well its been a long while since i posted for this bike i haven't really posted much this summer you know getting married and all takes up to much time... so i guess i should change the name of this post to the wifes ride......

got some sweet 2.125x26 kenda flames for the ride.... they look sweet

but hey big suprise they don't fit i hate skinny tired frames!! so i ntroduced the frame to my grinder then to a 3" post in my backyard.....

and poof no more clearance problems.....

and here it is kinda mocked up need to figure out what handle bars to use

 

[elvis51]

Easy E

 

[CCR]

i love this frame !!! nice lines

 

[Von Stans]

i ordered the fork from http://www.chainganglowrider.com its like 25 dollers....... was useing it on a krate inspired bike but the i got my welder and decided to chop the bike up......

 

[elvis51]

thanks von. ill have to check that site out soon. i cant wait to see more pics of this bike as you continue building

Easy E

Can I ask about the rear triangle? It looks for all the world that the rear triangle bars bolt on to the seat post!?!? And that the also bolt onto the rear drop outs? Is this what I'm seeing in the pics? Is that the way the original frame was put together?

Is that safe and secure? Cause if so, the non welders in the crowd could really do some neat mods on bikes like laying the seat tube back and shorting and widening those rear seat stays? Huh, what is it?

Thanks

 

[Von Stans]

your eye's aren't playing tricks on you it is bolted on...... i thought it was kinda weird i never seen that b4....

 

[Von Stans]

well its been a while since i have been able to play with my welder but today i was enjoy a brisk 0 degree's and welding my little heart out and grinding and welding.... so here is a pic of what i have done.... threw some bondo on the bike then the wife was yelling at me cause of the smell lol.... get her back for always painting her nails in my face i hate that smell go figure....

before....

after....

i will post the pics of the bondoed bike later .....

 

[Von Stans]
